Large name drug corporation Pfizer announces positive results with coronavirus vaccine on Sunday, November 8th claiming 90% effectiveness to be administered later this month to Americans. This vaccine would be free of charge with the hopes of bending the curve of Coronavirus in the United States. Pfizer is only one of 52 vaccines that are currently undergoing clinical trials to test the effectiveness on humans, along with 87 preclinical vaccines that are being tested and trialed in animals.

Pfizer partnered with BioNtech first set up in Germany by “power couple” Ugur Sahin and Ozlem Tureci. This intelligent medical couple according to CNN has “dedicated their lives to the field of oncology and infectious diseases, and spent years pioneering personalized immunotherapy treatments for cancer.”

Sahin and Tureci are the brains behind this groundbreaking vaccine and were able to share their tangible hope with the rest of the world. 

According to a CNN article, CEO of Pfizer company, Albert Bourla, is calling the vaccine “the greatest medical advance in the last 100 years.”

Even though the New York Times is claiming that there haven’t been much for serious side effects from the vaccine, the New York Post has opposing views. Claims were made saying that people who had received the vaccine suffered “severe hangover” symptoms. The New York Post claims these symptoms include “headaches, fever and muscle aches that were compared to getting the flu shot or recovering from a heavy night out.”

As we anxiously await for the vaccine to become readily available in the United States, the following information can help to understand why creating this Coronavirus vaccine is such a tedious experiment.
